the problem is that im running out of space again :P i dont even know whether i will collect them that much in the future or not. i dont really collect them anyway, i just build them for the fun of it^^

haha, that's how it all started, at first i just love model kit especially robot. i just love to put them together, back in the day, these model kits are just toy. but all the sudden i came across RX-78. i fell in love with the Gundam design long before i start watching anime itself. and Bandai just impress me so much even in the early 90's. so i really started collecting it as a collection ever since. but since i move to US, all my collection back in HK is pretty much gone, i did ship most of my Gundam over, but ended up got destroyed........ by my cousin.

i think dalong's room is even more impressive^^ that dude has EVERYTHING. even all the special releases that no one wanted, like the "phase shift off" versions from gundam seed XD

speaking of dalong, he has the runner preview of the zoid online that i ordered....http://dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/...z26_runner.jpg
holy smokes, what have i gotten myself into XD thats a lot of parts! most runners are pretty small but still, its 40 in total counting the poly caps :P

sorry, i dont speak japanese and that was the only thing i was able to make out...

im starting to have a small problem with ordering models... my zoid just arrived (at friggin 7 AM no less >_>) and again i had to pay the full 19% taxes, 17€.
this is starting to annoy me, i didnt have to pay that much before. for the exia ignition mode (which cost me about the same) i had to pay 7€.
if this continues i might as well use fedex again, they are faster and only slightly more expensive in total :P

ouch, 19% that's too much. maybe you should check from the place that you buy the kit, some company change the shipping method, some company selling it cheaper and they don't pay for the tax and duty. while some will take care everything for you but selling it at a bit higher price.

19% are normal here. you pay 19% on everything you buy here and customs taxes are the same.
i dont think its because HLJ changed anything, im sure the customs here simply changed something, im now getting completely different paperwork in my packages.

I have two Ikea bookshelves and i just use the top 3 shelves for Gundams. Then I cover them with cellophane. I am tempted to get a display shelf custom made, but I don't have the space to put it.

Dalong's collection puts even hobby shops to shame...

after looking at his collection, i guess i wasn't the only one that keep on buying the same kit over and over again, lol. i think i have 5 RX-78, but they are not exactly the same kit. and Dalong have way more than 5, lol
